Don't judge a book (manga) by its cover.

I had seen this manga a couple times at my local Barnes and Noble, but I never took more than a quick glance. Even though I'm a diehard Ace Attorney fan, I was offput but the cover art. It looks goofy and a bit strange, and I was sure that they would just butcher the series hard.

However, a few months later I found it at my local library. Well if I can read it for free, I guess I'll try it...

... and it was great.

If you're an Ace Attorney fan, this manga is a fun and humorous take on Miles Edgeworth and company. The cases were fine, taking 2-4 chapters to solve, but the characters are really what drives thus manga. It was really fun to see Edgeworth, Gumshoe and Ema again. Poor, poor Gumshoe. In more ways than one.

If you just want more Ace Attorney, pick this up. If you're not, then you should pick up the first game instead.
